atheism for lent, day 29: the core is missing

Today’s reflection is sort of in my wheelhouse and sort of not. It is, in that it’s all about art. It isn’t, in that the art in question is abstract expressionism. Not exactly the milieu of this fantasy artist who strives for realism in her paintings. So, yay! I get my horizons expanded.  😊  Barnett …

atheism for lent, day 13: medieval jewish boyfriend

Howdy, inklings! On this bright and lovely Monday morning, the husband and the 10yo both have covid and I am, thus far, miraculously plague-free. I will be shocked to the core if my condition doesn’t change within the next 48 hours. But for now… After yesterday’s intro to mysticism, Peter moves us right along with …

atheism for lent, day 11: WANTED, a god with all the impediments

As far as I can recall, I never heard of Douglas Gasking before this week. Apparently, a lot of other people haven’t heard of him either, because he doesn’t even have his own Wikipedia page, GASP AND EGAD! All he gets over there is an in-passing mention under “Melbourne Philosophy” in the Australian philosophy entry, …

atheism for lent, day 9: what the hell, “God”?

GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS. After yesterday’s brief interlude, I’m back on the regularly scheduled AfL…um…STUFF. Next up is J.L. (John Leslie) Mackie, an analytic philosopher I’d never heard of until this year’s AfL. (Although it’s possible I came across him in my previous two incomplete attempts at AfL in ’19 and ’20, I just don’t remember.) …

atheism for lent, day 6 (antony flew, meghan trainor, and bilbo baggins)

Today we are turning to various arguments against the existence of God, starting with those of one Antony Flew, an historically fairly recent English philosopher (1923-2010). Flew was an atheist for most of his life, and he insisted that the burden of proving God’s existence lies on the believer, not that the burden of disproving God’s …

atheism for lent, day 4

Bonjour, mes amis! Aujourd’hui, nous étudierons le philosophe français René Descartes. And I didn’t even have to use a dictionary for most of that! Thank you, my 1990s-era French studies. Good ol’ Renny is one of those writers who makes me wanna take a red pen to all his texts. At least in English. I …

atheism for lent, day 3

🎶 Watchmaker, Watchmaker, make me a watch,Time me some time,Swatch me a Swatch 🎵 That was really bad. Sorry not sorry. TODAY! IS! WILLIAM PALEY! who, in 1802, wrote an extended argument on the existence of God called “Natural Theology.” The basics of it, and my perception thereof, are as follows: I find a stone …

atheism for lent, day 2 (Kinky Vi and Her Logic)

Hile, wordslingers, inklings, folks, various, and sundry! Today in AfL, Peter Rollins takes us a bit deeper than yesterday’s intro. We’re looking at the first three of Thomas Aquinas’s Five Ways. Officially, these are known as the Quinque Viæ, which means I will forever associate this first week of AfL ’23 with a character I’ve …

books i read in 2022

Well, this is a month late, but better that than not at all, IMHO. YMMV. 2022’s reads were more of a mixed bag than what I usually end up with in my reading year. Some of these were cramazing (***) and some were just so-so. I revisited a lot of books from decades ago and …

the one where brash louts crash my kid’s birthday party

Yesterday, we celebrated my kid’s 10th birthday with friends in the park. (Um. Let’s just take a moment to note that this small human I helped create, carried around inside my body for the better part of a year, and then expelled from an exceedingly small orifice in my body is now A DECADE OLD. …
